Predicting process behaviour using deep learning

Abstract

Predicting business process behaviour is an important aspect of business process management. Motivated
by research in natural language processing, this paper describes an application of deep learning with recur-
rent neural networks to the problem of predicting the next event in a business process. This is both a novel
method in process prediction, which has largely relied on explicit process models, and also a novel applica-
tion of deep learning methods. The approach is evaluated on two real datasets and our results surpass the
state-of-the-art in prediction precision.
